Yes, it’s been a long, long time.
1. new job (yay!)
2. new puppy (double yay!)
3. taking a night class in accounting (eh, fun but not exactly ‘yay!’)
I’ll work on getting some pictures of the new puppy up here somehow. His name is Frankie, he’s a Bichon-Yorkie mix, and he’s 6 pounds of total cuteness [...]

let’s put it this way

It’s been pointed out to me by a couple of friends that I come across as pretty sad lately on this blog. I think I mainly have been inspired to blog when I’m worried or upset or sad about something, so the emotional balance here is skewed. Anyway, it just occurred to me [...]
brain splat

Yesterday’s post was…a little insane. Sorry about that. I wrote the first half of it after getting the phone call about the job, when I was still trying to get my head around what was going on. Then I talked it over with W and also with one of our friends who [...]
an opportunity

I got a phone call last night, offering me a job. (Well, asking me to apply for a job, but I think I’ll get it if I apply.) I’m trembling.
Here’s the background. Six years ago, I went to school to become a minister. I graduated two years ago, and haven’t done anything with it. I [...]
detachment

I’m having one of those days where I feel detached and yet everything around me is defined in merciless clarity. None of the normal edge-blurring effect that helps you walk through your life without noticing every little thing. I feel like the objects on my desk are all too real, and I notice the ugly [...]
sad

I didn’t get the job. Remember the job? That I applied for a billion years ago? Well, I found out today that I didn’t get it. So I’m sad. It would have been really a good thing. I’ll be sad and disappointed for about a day and then I’ll get over it. Then I’ll start [...]
our covenant

I’ve been trying to figure out how to approach the next steps of the baby process. So far we’re dragging our heels a bit, I think, because the next logical thing is to sit down with our potential donor and discuss specifics. That’s going to be really difficult for us, because we both [...]
feeling blue
Posted in cats & dogs, life, marriage, self on July 8, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I’ve been feeling blue on the weekends lately. I’ve been trying to figure out why, because that’s what I do. I feel things and then I analyze the heck out of them. So anyway, I’ve been trying to figure out why I feel kind of down on the weekends, and often I’ve [...]
feeling good

Today was a day I just felt good about everything. Nothing is substantially different from yesterday, I just seemed in alignment with my world today. My body feels healthy, people at work were friendly and chatty, and the weather was beautiful. I closed my car windows ten minutes before a sudden and violent rainstorm. Things [...]
loneliness
Posted in life, self, work on June 20, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I don’t usually feel lonely. I like my life, my work, my home, my marriage. But it takes me a long time to make new friends, and it’s taking me a particularly long time in my new community. I’ve been working and living here full time for almost two years now. But still, no friends. [...]
